The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 709

After following Fizzspark into the archery room, which had its own shooting gallery in the back, Karl was flooded with cheerful greetings and the sound of cheerful conversations.

It was a very different feeling than the forges, where everyone worked in silence, as the noise of the forge was too loud for casual conversation.

Surprisingly, a large portion of the room was not crafters who had some special skill in creating bows, but Nature Priestesses.

Bows were traditionally created from wood. Nature Priestesses excelled at growing more of it. It was a perfect fit for them, Karl decided.

Karl walked over to one of the bows and picked it up to examine the enchantments on it. _{fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm}

{Bow of Multi Fire} Uncommon Grade bow. Creates two arrows each time the bow is fired.

Karl shook his head as he realized that the one important thing the bow didn’t do was allow for separate targeting, or even aim assist when you fired.

But it was Uncommon Grade, and that wasn’t a particularly powerful item. The question was, why was it the first thing he found on the table?

"What do we have that’s already at the Rare or Epic Grade to be enhanced?" Karl asked.

One of the bowyers raised his hand, and Karl walked over to see his work.

{Compound bow of Brutal Impact} deals 110% of skill damage as physical impact. Requires skill use to activate.

That wasn’t terrible. It would be hard on the mana levels, but it would double your damage output, or allow you to use a much lower output that didn’t deplete the Elite nearly as quickly.

The problem that he could see was that the actual bow was not particularly high-quality wood. Ascended Rank Ash, if his botany knowledge was right.

It would have helped to have Lotus here. She would gladly fill him in on all the little details without him having to ask. The clerics here were too nervous to say much today.

But he would be able to work with that, it would just take more runes to reinforce the wood, which Karl noted was in a carefully crafted composite. It was quite a modern weapon, with its compound design for improved arrow speed and shorter overall length while retaining power.

Karl made a quick mental plan, then borrowed a paintbrush from the tools on the counter. Carving into the composite of the bow would do more damage than help, so he would have to do what he could with paint.

"I have a marker." One of the nature priestesses suggested helpfully.

"Oh, that would be easier."

She handed it over, and Karl noticed that it was a rainbow-coloured marker, with sparkles.

Whoever got this bow once they were done testing had better have a sense of humour if the runes didn’t change colours.

Karl decided on two phrases. One to strengthen and stiffen the bow, and one to greatly improve the travel speed of projectiles.

Adding mana to the marker runes was not easy, and Karl suspected that it was the changing composition of the multicoloured marker. Even when he brought it through Awakened and Ascended Rank, it retained its sparkles.

At Commander Rank, the runes turned shining gold. Karl hesitated, but a Commander Rank weapon wouldn’t do them any good for an Overlord Rank Ranger.

So, he took the bow to Royal Rank.
